I appeared on the O’Reilly Hardware Podcast this week, talking about the way that DRM has crept into all our smart devices, which compromises privacy, security and competition.

Happy Xmas! (guest starring Poesy) 2015

It’s been a year since I sat down at the mic, but it’s Christmas and we have a tradition to uphold. Now we’re settling in here in Burbank and I’ve got a new computer, I’m hoping to get everything running again and get back to a regular schedule.

Happy Xmas! (guest starring Poesy) 2014

It’s that time again! School is out, but I’m still working, so the kid came to the office with me, just in time to record a new podcast. This year, Poesy performs a stirring rendition of Jingle Bells, with dirty words!

Flowers From Al 02

Here’s the second, concluding part of my reading of my 2003 short story “Flowers From Al,” written with Charlie Stross for New Voices in Science Fiction, a Mike Resnick anthology. It’s a pervy, weird story of transhuman romance.

[Note: This podcast episode starts with some very important thoughts on DRM in web browsers before Doctorow starts reading the story. That's what's transcribed.]

Flowers From Al 01

Here’s part one of my 2003 short story “Flowers From Al,” written with Charlie Stross for New Voices in Science Fiction, a Mike Resnick anthology. It’s a pervy, weird story of transhuman romance.

2013

Christmastime daddy-daughter podcast with Poesy

Every year, there’s a day or two between the date that my daughter’s school shuts and the day that my wife’s office shuts for Christmas holidays. Those are the official seasonal mid-week daddy-daughter days, and for the past two years, my daughter and I have gone to my office to record a podcast. Last year’s was great, but I think we hit a new high this year.

PRI’s Studio 360 on Disney parks

The PRI Show Studio 360 has released a great episode in its “American Icons” series, this one dealing with the Disney themeparks. I was delighted to be interviewed for it, and they’ve included our complete, unedited interview with the piece.

Talking Little Brother on KQED’s The Forum

I was privileged to appear on Michael Krasny’s Forum on KQED in San Francisco this morning as part of the San Francisco Public Library’s One City/One Book celebrations for my novel Little Brother. The KQED people already have the audio up on the Internet, which is pretty zippy production-mojo.

Sense About Science lecture

I gave the annual Sense About Science lecture last week in London, and The Guardian recorded and podcasted it. It’s based on the Waffle Iron Connected to a Fax Machine talk I gave at Re:publica in Berlin the week before.
